LETTER: Pro-life view one-sided
February 21Here we are again at another crossroad in the debate of free speech. I support the right of pro-life organizations to present their side, but I am disgusted that they use scare-tactics and present false information to convey their point. Furthermore, I have a problem with the tolerance the University has given this exhibit, and I would like to point out several reasons why.

A Dream Deferred
Marissa Jurez | February 21In his poem, "A Raisin in the Sun," Langston Hughes poses the question: "What ever happens to a dream deferred?" The answer to this lies within personal speculation - in a realm far beyond what most of us conceive to be real.
Folk musicians to discuss death penalty alternatives
Angela Williams | February 21Through the power of their music, folk artists Charlie King and Karen Brandow will commemorate the anniversary of two Italian immigrants' 1927 execution while attempting to educate people about the potentially dangerous consequences of the death penalty.
'Child' play takes on gritty subjects
Rafael E. Gallegos | February 21Recently, I have been struggling with the idea of art versus entertainment. What exactly makes a work purely entertainment as opposed to something of worldly value, of artistic complexity?
COLUMN: Wars for democracy ironic
February 21One of the predominant missions of the United States since it became an imperialist power at the turn of the 20th century has been to proliferate democracy. Understandably, this mission is flexible, as the exigencies of global politics sometimes put democracy on the backburner.
LETTER: Seeking alternatives to graphic exhibit
February 20As most of us have seen the controversial exhibit of the anti-freedom group ironically named "Justice For All," we ask ourselves about the idea of freedom. What does it mean and to whom does it apply? As liberals we believe in the freedoms that the Bill of Rights guarantees to all Americans, thus the right to express one's political beliefs even when they is wrong.
LETTER: Anti-abortion group should be more positive
February 20I have several comments to make on the anti-abortion exhibit that has come to UNM. I walked past it on Monday and felt nauseated. The images I saw were simply distasteful.
LETTER: Government shouldn't thrust views upon us
February 20In reading Adrian Martinez's letter in Tuesday's Daily Lobo denouncing those who protest the current display of Justice for All, I can say I agree with only one thing: The group should be allowed to voice their opinion.
LETTER: Pro-choice crowd's methods humorous
February 20My favorite props of the week were the hangers. I thought it was so good to see all of these women supporting housework. Watching them wave their hangers around almost made me want to go and do laundry.

LETTER: UNM shouldn't tolerate anti-choice ads
February 20I have to disagree with the dean of students' disclaimer in Friday's Daily Lobo that claims that the University does not in any way support or affiliate itself with anti-choice groups.
LETTER: Ignoring exhibit, abortion does not make it go away
February 20Kudos to Justice for All and its exhibit on campus. While I am unable to see it myself, I'm glad to know that it's out there for other people to view. People so often talk about abortion rights and a woman's right to choose, yet they oppose the other side expressing opposite views.
COLUMN: Ectogenesis solution to abortion
February 20The 18-foot tall anti-abortion display on campus this week is certainly attracting its share of attention. The gruesome photos were chosen to provoke disgust in any who see them, and they do this job well.
